DELHI METRO INTRODUCES 'MATCHMAKER COACH' — LOVE BLOOMS BETWEEN KASHMERE GATE AND RAJIV CHOWK, DIVORCES FILED BY HUDA CITY CENTRE
Three proposals, seven breakups, and one divorce reported during morning rush hour — DMRC calls it a 'social impact success'
In a move that no one asked for but everyone secretly wanted, the Delhi Metro has introduced a dedicated "Matchmaker Coach" — a special compartment where singles can find love during their daily commute. The coach, painted pink with heart-shaped grab rails, has already resulted in 3 proposals, 7 breakups, and 1 divorce hearing between Kashmere Gate and Central Secretariat.
"We wanted to address the loneliness epidemic," said a DMRC spokesperson, adjusting a Cupid costume. "Nothing brings people together like being squeezed into a coach with 400 strangers during rush hour while someone plays 'Tum Hi Ho' on their phone speaker." Critics argue this is just the Delhi Metro's way of distracting passengers from the fact that the Violet Line is still running 20 minutes late and the AC hasn't worked since 2019.
The Matchmaker Coach has already spawned a reality TV deal, with producers calling it "Love on the Yellow Line." Contestants are paired based onwhich station they get off at. "If you both get off at Rajiv Chowk, it's meant to be," explained the show's host. "If one gets off at HUDA City Centre and the other at Samaypur Badli, the relationship is considered 'long-distance' and immediately disqualified."
grossHopper observes: "Anyone who can maintain a relationship from Kashmere Gate to HUDA City Centre deserves a marriage certificate, not a metro ticket. The real test of love isn't compatibility — it's surviving someone's sneeze in a packed coach and still wanting to hold their hand. The dustbin compartment is where most metro romances end up anyway."
